Based on stock yes, I already made 2 ROM's one based on latest 7.0 and one based on 7.1.1 from note 8 (buggy)

Based on aosp I dont think so for now, unlock the boot loader need a miracle or some magic.

Hi, @afaneh92
Max Wienbach mentioned the ROM Slots in his write up but I believe you indicated that there was an issue with them in initial release.
Just wondering what the current status actually is on this. Thx and awesome work! keep it up. ?

Are you planning on releasing these custom roms?
They are stock with no modification. The note 8 rom still buggy I had fixed wifi, but the camera is broken and broke flashlight I think this will take time to fix, gps is not hard to fix and maybe more hidden bugs.

You could look into the f.i.s.h project also might help to boot custom boot.img and system.img there is a thread on xda about it.

Hi all, users with status "Not Installed"
I have rewrote the safestrap app, cleaned it up and implemented internal busybox. So busybox not needed anymore.
If you have this issue PM me with device model and firmware build id, I will sent you test build same as B2.

I have a boost mobile Samsung s8 running partycyborg's rooted rom. I was able to install this without any problems and I was really happy to see the TWRP interface again. As mentioned in an earlier post SD card not integrated yet and is much needed.
I made a backup anyway and had a need to actually restore using safestrap a couple of days after. Unfortunately the restore failed, (sorry didn't capture the error messages), and had to use odin, etc to get my phone to work.
Anyone have similar issues or does it seem like "operator error" to you? I would love to be able to use this recovery option but only if I can depend on it working reliably.
Thanks to all who developed this.

    PLEASE READ READ READENTIRE OP

    "ALL MAJOR WORK DONE BY HASHCODE SO GO GIVE HIM SOM THANKS.DO NOT POST ANY BUG OR ISSUE COUSED BY THIS RECOVERY IN ORIGINAL THREAD BY HASHCODE, POST HERE AND I WILL HELP YOU."

    CURRENT PROJECT STATUS:
    BETA v4.09-B01 [Nougat:7.0]

    WHAT IS SAFESTRAP?
    Safestrap is a Bootstrap / Recovery for locked bootloader phones. The goal is to avoid touching your primary system (I'll call this "stock" system) and only flash or make large changes to another place on your phone that Safestrap treats as a "2nd system" (in this case, it's a series of virtual ROM slots located on the internal emmc area: "/sdcard"). Once installed, you will see a "Splashscreen" giving you the option to hit "menu" to enter recovery. The recovery portion of Safestrap is now based on TWRP 3.3.0 (a touch based recovery) and you can perform .zip installs, backups and restores here. The additional features I've added to TWRP are mostly located under the "Boot Options" menu:
    Here you can create virtual ROM-slots for flashing ROMs. NOTE: The bigger you make the /data partition the less room you will have to make other ROM-slots.
    You can activate a new ROM-slot by choosing the slot you wish to make active and then selecting the "Activate" button. Once active, you will see the "rom-slot#" up in the top of the screen shown in green. If you make the "stock" ROM active, then you can see it in the top shown in red.
    Once a ROM-slot is active, all actions you would normally perform using TWRP are directed to that ROM-slot. For example, "Install" to flash a .zip, backup and restore.


    HOW DO I INSTALL SAFESTRAP?
    Requirement: Root

    [Safestrap pre V4.07] Requirement: busybox. Grab "Busybox" from the Play Store and run the installer.

    APK install:
    Once installed, open up the Safestrap application, Agree to the disclaimer that you won't try to sue me and hunt me down with a rifle if you manage to break your phone..
    Then use the "Install Recovery" button. You should see the current version down in the lower left corner of the window. And the "Status:" should say "Installed" when you're done.
    From there you can reboot and you *should* see a new splash screen during the boot up. While this is showing you can enter Safestrap Recovery using the [ menu ] button.

    Flashable zip:
    Flash using Safestrap recovery or FlashFire.

    HOW DO I ENTER RECOVERY?

    During each reboot a splashscreen will be displayed showing whether the device is running a rom-slot or on the "Stock ROM".
    Press the button shown on the screen to either enter "RECOVERY" or "CONTINUE" booting (or the hard button underneath each option).

    HOW DO I UPGRADE SAFESTRAP?
    APK:
    Push the APK up to your sdcard.
    Boot back into the "stock" rom-slot.
    Open your old Safestrap app and use the "Uninstall Recovery" button
    Browse to where you pushed the APK
    Click on it and install like normal
    Once installed, open the APK, Grant SU access, Use the "Install Recovery" button.

    Flashable zip:
    Flash using Safestrap recovery or FlashFire.


    KNOWN ISSUES:
    - Sometimes the installation doesn't work correctly. If you don't see the splashscreen after a rebooting. Install Safestrap again.

    WARNING: Safestrap is heavily modified to be "Safe" for your device. Do not download TWRP from their website and expect it to work the same way. Also TWRP does not support Safestrap, tho some issues that may come up will be TWRP dependant, please try and contact myself or look on the forums for your device for answers before hunting down TWRP people. They won't be able to help w/ Safestrap specific questions.

    Special Thanks To
    @Hashcode, DeesTroy & TeamWin for all their hard work making TWRP such a fantastic recovery.
    @jrkruse for pointing me that S8 has permissive root. @partcyborg for getting root on S8.

    If the main OS becomes unbootable due to a bootloop or something of that sort, is it possible to get back to SS? What does it take to convert Odin-flashable firmware into TWRP/SS flashable firmware?

    Just wait, I will start working on new ROM soon.
    Also stock odin flashable including SS and ROOT (flashing ENG boot to enable them).
